Summary

Rivers Edge Elementary is a PK–5 school in Glen Allen, VA, serving 735 students as part of Henrico County Public Schools. What makes this school stand out is how consistently it performs: in 2025–2026, Rivers Edge Elementary ranked 25th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (98th percentile) and earned a 5-star rating, finishing in the top 4% statewide every year since at least 2015–2016. Nearly every subject and grade level posts proficiency rates above 90% — 3rd grade math hit 95.6%, 4th grade reading reached 91.6%, and 5th grade science came in at 90.1% — placing the school roughly 25 points above the district average and 21 points above the state average.

Even when compared to its strong, affluent neighbors, Rivers Edge comes out ahead. In 2025–2026, it ranked well above nearby Nuckols Farm Elementary (#89), Twin Hickory Elementary (#101), Shady Grove Elementary (#119), and Echo Lake Elementary (#118). On 3rd grade reading, for instance, Rivers Edge posted 92.7% proficiency versus 85.8% at Nuckols Farm and 83.8% at Echo Lake. The school achieves these results while spending less per pupil ($9,388) than most surrounding schools and maintaining a larger student-teacher ratio of 17.5, suggesting strong instructional practices rather than extra resources drive the outcomes. Chronic absenteeism is just 4.5% — less than one-third of the district rate of 14.1% — which likely supports the school's sustained achievement.

Rivers Edge serves most student groups extremely well, but two relative gaps are worth noting. Students with disabilities ranked in the 61st percentile — the school's only 3-star subgroup result — and low-income students, while still strong at the 73rd percentile, dipped from the 85th percentile in prior years. For families, the bottom line is clear: Rivers Edge is one of Virginia's most consistently high-performing elementary schools, combining elite academics, excellent attendance, and efficient use of resources in a way that distinguishes it even from its strongest nearby peers.
